The Parkland Amateur Radio Club (P.A.R.C.), consists of very active and ambitious amateur radio operators, who commonly share a common interest in many aspects of amateur Radio, located in the Parklands, covering East Central Saskatchewan.

Local amateurs in Canora, Saskatchewan in the beginning consisted of only 3, back in 2000, and eventually those same three formed the club, known as the 'Canora Amateur Radio Club', in February 2002. We started with a local repeater, and soon had IRLP or V.O.I.P. Communication installed and linked, which expanded our range of communication to all around the world.

Once more operators knew of our local accomplishments they soon joined our club.  In January 2004, we started with the addition of EchoLink to our existing IRLP Node, which also improved our coverage to include communication via computer keyboard.  Our goals as a club seem to be changing faster than ever and over the next couple of years more amateur's joined the club, and in April 2006, we changed our club name to: The Parkland Amateur Radio Club Inc., (P.A.R.C.).

The Parkland Amateur Radio Club boasts a great repeater network system, which provides several different modes of communication, to a expanded coverage area. We are continuously updating our equipment and repeater network, more information can be viewed on the following link: http://nonprofits.accesscomm.ca/parc/rpt_services.html

The Parkland amateur Radio Club hosts a great system, integrating both VHF / UHF and V.O.I.P. communication systems, that can be linked to other systems around the world.  Our club achieved this through many volunteer hours from all our members, donations from fellow ham operators from far and wide and through the people and organizations around our local coverage area.  We are continuing to grow, by new members coming on board, and we are constantly upgrading and adding to our already proven reliable system.
